Mr. Magee is as much at home in good society

lacked ability, education, good breeding, and
it is not likely that he has undergone any mar

exceptions, have always been, and are to-day,

THE only question before the Supreme
Court of the United States in the Anarchist
cases, is whether an error of law was COM
mitted in the Illinois courts which contravenes
the federal Constitution. Indeed, the pendin g
question is less than that; it is whether there
is presumption sufficient to warrant the
issue of writ of error in order that the other
question may be brought before the court at
the Anarchists attorneys are that some jurors
had read the news papers and formed an opin-
ion, although they swore that the opinion
would give way to the evidence; and secondly,
that because after the regular panel had been
exhausted, the sheriff was directed that tales
men should be summoned from the best
tried by ga jury of their peers" Reduced to
the simplest forms, the contention seems to
be that no one be legal juror if he reads
the newspapers, or is not the same kind of a
man as the one on trial. In other words, a
horsethief must be tried by horse thieves, a
murderer by murderers. A lawyer would not
state the points this way, but that is the
plain United States of it. Should the writ of
error be granted, it by no means follows that
the action of the Illinois courts would be
reversed and new trial become necessary,
and in any event the merits of the case can
not be reached in the federal court.

GENERAL BUTLER, counsel for the Chicago
Anarchists said to a reporter: II am law

my utmost to save my clients from suffering
the penalty Of the law and think every
upright lawyer will agree with me that as
long as there is a loophole of escape for these
men it is our duty to fight for them" That
is the theory held aud practiced by
modern criminal lawyers, but we
submit that it is opposed to good
morals and sound legal ethics. The first duty
IF lawyer is to see that justice is DONE and
ihis may mean the punishment instead of the
icquittal OF the client. His duty is to see
that his client is not unjustly punished, nor
punished at all if innocent. If the lawyer
honestly believes his client innocent he may
labor for his acquittal, but if be has reason to
believe him guilty in any degree or to any ex-
tent, he has no right to attempt to shield him
from the penalty. General Buffers statement

The Same Everywhere.


The political alliance between the Democratic
party and the saloon, LIQUOR and brewing inter-
ests grows palmer and more distinct every day.
The LIQUOR men expect through the Democratic
laws for the restriction of their traffic. They
want the Sunday closing laws stricken from the
statute book. and every other enactment that in
any way limits their sale OF liquors Il is tho
serious question of the hour whether this politi-
cal liquor power shall be allowed to dominate
State legislation.

Fight Shy of Purgatives.

Purgatives are bane. The most
dangerous of all are salts and castor
oil. A great quantity of either can be
bought for very little money. and this
cheapness is at the bottom of many of
our physical wrecks among the poor.
The most potent breaker-up of consti-
tutions is the seidlitz powder. 1t is the
pleasantest to the palate after one has
once accustomed himself to the
smothering sensation, and it is so
handy to have boXful in the bed
room. That box is Pandora's. Unless
used with moderation the seidlitz
powder is woeful weakener of the
human system, and paves the way for
almost every known i'll. Especially
the aged should never touch it or ro-
chelle salts or castor oil, unless with
the approval of physician. Above
all, there should be an operative moral
law against women, who so banker

The SOCIETY BELLE.
| One of the Least Lovabie Members q sne
Human Family.

Human Family.
Men are not individuals to the belle, but
merely nurnerals-No. IL, or Whatever
the case NAV be; as for their beating
hearts, their longing souls, she does not
trouble herself at all; all that she wants
is the offer of their devotion-their scalps
to hang at her belt, SO to speak, that all
the world may see and count. She is,
according to Harper's Basar, by no means
sentimental girl, for she has no emo
tions, unless we call her desire and de-
termination for conquest an emo tion. She
does not think of others. There are girls
who love physical exercise for itself; they
will ride over rough country, they will
row against the tide, they will shoot and
play tennis in the torrid zone,
they will skate and toboggan, they
will walk before breakfast, and swim
for the mere love of it, not to show pret
ty costume, a neat and shapely foot, q
daring spirit or skill. But the belle, as a
usual thing, cares for none of these en-
Payments unless they accentuate her
charms, unless they add to her laurels. If
shooting and dancing and rowing parties
were all composed of the feminine element
the belle would none of them. She cares
nothing for walking without an escort;
even talking, that exercise in which she is
supposed to excel, bores her if there are no
men to listen. She has a contempt for the
feminine intellect; but surround her with
admirers and she is in her element-shs
sparkles and flashes if there is any bril-
liancy in her. There is no trouble she is
not willing to take in order to win; she
will dance in midsummer, although she
hates it: she will Yacht, even at the
risk of nausea; she will picnic, al
though she trembles before spiders
and snakes. She loves the reputation OF
belle, and if America does not furnish her
q wide enough field she goes to Europe or
upon the stage. If she is one among a
large family, not content with possessing
the lions share of personal attraction,
she receives and accepts without demur
the best of every thing in the way Of
ndornment. She is expected to make the
great match Of the family, but it is more
often the belle who becomes the old maid
than her sister, who is ready to love, and
is not always reaching after match that
shall be brilliant in every thing but love.
The old belle still believes in her power to
fascinate. She can not resign her king
dom gracefully. Conquering hearts has
become such habit with her that she can
not live without the fond delusion that
her charms are as fatal as ever.

A Solution Which Prevents Lace Curtains
F From Taking Fire.
"Look out, that curtain will surely
take fire?"
A gas jet was burning in dangerous
proximity to lace curtain in the rear
end of a downtown lace importing
store.
"Pm not worried about it," replied
the merchant to a reporter, who had
called his attention to the circun-
stance. ''You are not the first man
that light has frightened.
"Why don't you turn the light out
then or move the curtainp"
Because there is really no danger"
"You are taking great chances"
"You wouldn't think so if you knew
what that curtain is made of. 1t is u
new French invention that has been
put on the American market recently,
and am the agent. The lace is dipped
in solution which makes it incom-
bustible. Experiments are now being
made to determine whether dyed goods
can be so treated. At present only
white wooden and cotton fabrics can be
treated that way"
"What is the preparation?"
Il can't tell you exactly, but there
are sulphate of ammonia, carbonate of
ammonia. boracic acid, borax and
starch in in it. The goods are dipped
in this while it is boiling hot and be-
come thoroughly impregnated with it.
Then they are dried and ironed as or
dinary starched fabrics"
"A great invention, truly"
"Indeed, it is. And if it can be used
on all goods, there is no telling how
many fires may be avoided. If all cur
tains, carpets, bed-clothes and gar
ments were incombustible, many lives
would be saved"
''Do you think it will ever be per
fected?'
Il can't say; but l do know that pa
per can be treated that way, and if
dyed goods can be, it will not be long
before they are, for no money is being
spared in making the experiments. -

An Adventurous Incident Which Ended to

An Adventurous Incident Which Ended to
Every Body's Satisfaction.
Wild boar hunting in India is excit-
ing spcrt, as is proved by many adven-
turous incidents. The following true
incident certainly partook of the
unique and adventurous. 1t occurred
in August, 1871, at place neal. Nag
pore, called Warree. A large boar was
started, and managed to reach patch
of "sindee,'' sort of low-growing
prickly palm. Here the sportsmen
surrounded him, waiting for the beat
ers to come up. This they soon did,
headed by old Manajee, a famous
hunter.
He forthwith waxed valiant, and,
picking up some clods of earth, adj
vanced into an opening in the bushes,
and began his bombardment of the
pigs retreat. A few discharges were
sufficient to bring his porcine majesty
out, and he charged straight at Man.
ajee, whom he promptly upset, cutting
him on his hand. That old gentleman
began forthwith to yell "blue murder" F"
only in Hindustani. On hearing his
cries, one of the party named Going,
an Englishman of small size, jumped
off his horse, and ran on foot, spear in
hand, to Manajee's rescue. That old
gentleman promptly scrambled out of
the way, and the boar charged Mr.. Go
ing, knocked him over, and began dig
ging with his tusks at his PROSTATE
form. Luckily the Englishman had on
a pair of stout English cords, and,
though the boar cut him several times
on his thighs, the wounds were not Sc
rious.
The fallen sportsman made use of his
fists as his osly weapon of defense, his
spear having been knocked out of his
hands, but, these being Of slight avail
against the boar's hard head, he had
the presence of mind to seize the ami
NAL by the ears, and, scrambling up,
jumped on his back! The boar, aston
ished at this novel burden, tried to re-
treat backward into the bushes but a
good dig from his riders spurs dis
suaded him, and, in less time than it
axes me to write it, the rest of the
party dismounted, and, rushing in,
soon put the boar horS de combat, one
energetic sportsman in his excitement
running his spear right through the
boar and actually pricking Mr.. Going S

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
A Very Rapid Increase Under Decreas-
ing circumstances.

The assumed rapid decrease Of the public
debt OF the United States, as shown in the
statements published, has seemed very mar
velous to foreigners. The experience of
ether nations with their public debts leads
them to doubt the statements of this country.
Most of them have continually increasing in
stead of decreasing national debts.
How then, they ask, can the United
States diminish its debt so rapidly!
The prosperity of the people during all
these years has been unabated. In fact the
country has never seen such an era of gen.
eral prosperity. The two conditions appear
to be contradictory.
Are the statements trues
In one sense they are undoubtedly cor
rect, but the public debt has largely in
creased since the war. 1t has accumulated
to the great inventors and dlscoVererS whose
successful efforts have eased the burdens
Of labor and made pleasant the pathways of
toll.
A grateful public should also acknowl-
edge its Indebtedness to those who have
promoted health and happiness. The pro-
prietors of Warmers safe cure have given
to the public specific for all kidney dis
orders, and the innumerable train OF fright
full diseases that are caused by them. The
late public teacher, DR. Do Lewis, who sell
dom prescribed medicines of any sort. gave
to this renowned specific his warm com
mendation, and said if he found himself suf-
fering from any kidney disorder he should
use it, Kidney disorders are the cause of
90 per cent, say the proprietors Of that
remedy, of all diseases. If you keep the
kidneys in health, you have the greatest as
surance of freedom from all disease.
Before the discovery of this remedy,
bright's disease was deemed incurable.
Now the number Of victims of the
dread kidney diseases, and all others
caused by such diseases, who are by it
snatched from death constantly increases,
